for the context of this story im a white guy who grew up in an excessively white small town in new hampshire when i was or i was playing outside a friends house while his parents were doing yard work at some point a car drove by blasting trunk rattling rap music and the father exclaims for all to hear listen to that nigger music sounds like the niggers are coming to town i was absolutely shocked the word just made me cringe i remember being taught about racism at a young age and i couldnt even fathom how someone could drop the n bomb with such ease and so much hatred its also worth noting that the family had recently moved to new england from tennessee edit the irony is that i grew up to make trunk rattling rap music and now im completely numb to any use of the n word
